2023 "FERRINGTON VINEYARDS" PINOT NOIR (1 X 750 ML)

The Davies family, of Schramsberg Vineyards and Davies Vineyards in the Napa Valley, is pleased to release its fifteenth vintage of Ferrington Vineyards Pinot Noir. The familys experience with Pinot Noir dates back to 1967, when Jack and Jamie Davies first used this elegant red varietal to make their inaugural vintage of Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Over the 58 years following that first use, Schramsbergs winemakers have built long-lasting relationships with some of the best Pinot Noir growers and vineyards along the North Coast. Developing upon this passion, history, and experience, second-generation Vintner Hugh Davies, along with Winemakers Sean Thompson, Jessica Koga and JP Pierce present this vineyard-designate Pinot Noir wine from the 2023 vintage.

The Ferrington Vineyards property, located approximately 100 miles north of San Francisco and 17 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, is in a fertile pocket of land found at the edge of the northeastern foothills of Mendocino Countys Anderson Valley. Between 360 and 440 feet above sea level, the vines utilize over six feet of Boontling and Pinole loam soil, sustainable farming practices, and deficit irrigation to produce approximately 2.5 tons per acre of bright, complex fruit with great balance. Cool, foggy nights and steadily warming days provide a long, even growing season which delivers mature fruit depth with a vibrant, acidic backbone.

The 2023 Anderson Valley vintage delivered exceptional quality despite a delayed start and a cooler summer. After years of drought, plentiful winter rain led to a milder growing season. Grapes benefited from the extended hang time which resulted in yields higher than average; many vineyards having the most bountiful harvest in recent memory.

Tasting notes

Our 2023 Ferrington Vineyards Pinot Noir delivers lush aromas of red fruit, berry compote, and hints of chocolate and vanilla. Notes of rosemary spice and espresso add to the bouquet. A bright and generous cherry-fruited entry leads into a well-weighted mid-palate. The finish is driven by density and youthful tannins.- Winemakers J.P. Pierce, Jessica Koga, Sean Thompson, Hugh Davies

Reviews

From a legendary vineyard, this wine offers intense aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and orange vanilla sherbet sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Flavors on the palate are pomegranate-cranberry, orange blossom honey, chicory, and bittersweet chocolate, layered with mineral to round out the finish.- Wine Enthusiat, Advance Buying Guide - March 3, 2026

Aromas of macerated Bing cherries, cranberry sauce and resinous herbs are reminiscent of a holiday feast, along with orange peel and orange oil. The palate is juicy and opulent with velvety tannins. Medium- to full-body with some nice cloves and spices in the finish.- James Suckling, September 2025
